For launching your application you have to use repair flag:
mongod --repair
After launching with a repair flag, stop that launch and relaunch your application without the flag, it will work.
Note: While launching your application using a repair flag in MongoDB, if an exception occurs on a corrupted data file then you have to eliminate/delete the mongod.lock file and the corrupt mongo data files. After removing the corrupted data just implement mongod --repair command again. While performing the above steps you will definitely lose some data but in the end, you will be able to restart your mongod.
What is Mongod lock file?
Mongodb always creates the mongodb. lock file when the server starts and drops it before mongodb is stopped. Removing mongodb. lock does not affect any data it just means that MongoDB was not stopped correctly. So, you are correct in removing this file and running with the -repair option should what are the three primary activities in the business intelligence process?fix database.

To repair MongoDB, stop the mongod process and run mongod --repair. This command rebuilds indexes and fixes data corruption. Ensure you have a backup before repairing.
The mongod lock file (mongod.lock) indicates whether the mongod process is running. If MongoDB shuts down unexpectedly, the lock file may remain, preventing restarts. To fix, delete the lock file and restart mongod. Use caution, as improper handling may lead to data loss. Always check logs and ensure no other issues exist before deleting the lock file.
Remember to back up your data regularly to prevent loss.
